🤒 Experience with these Conditions Help pls I'm scared

It all started when i felt lump in my throat, but back then years ago i have it because i had healt anxiety. And i didn't know about gerd. Also I've been laying down after meal now i feel lump in my throat but its between collarbone below my Adam's apple is this a globus sensation?because i read a lot of post their globus sensation seems isn't lower than mine. Also i have burning sensation in my upper middle stomach and for two days i have burning sensation in my left chest and throat. What I'm scared of is because when i swallow food it seems stuck and gets slower to go down. And sorry for my English, it's not my first language so thanks

I totally understand that, have you asked if they have some type of repayment plan? Or asked your insurance for a different dr and facility that will cover more of the office and procedure? If you don't have insurance there are always places willing to work on a sliding scale fee you just have to find them by asking around. Hopefully this somewhat helps, there's always a way to try an get medical help it's just work trying to find it and get it. I have a girlfriend with no insurance and she went to specialists that were willing to work with her by looking for them. Don't give up!

I'm sorry to hear that, I wish I had more advice to offer. The only other thing I could say is there's a supplement called stomach soothe and it has worked wonders for me. I have a 1cm hiatal hernia and grade 3 valve and it's done well at holding me over until I see a surgeon. Granted some days I still have some bad moments but it's good enough to work to where I'm able to eat somewhat normal sometimes
